Talcum "Lyre" Flacons c1922-1960s

Beautiful frosted glass talcum powder bottles were in the shape of a lyre or guitar. they held numerous scents: Shalimar, Mitsouko, Guerlinade, Rue de la Paix, Vol de Nuit, Liu, Fleur de Feu and L'Heure Bleue.

The talcum powder in this frosted glass bottle was introduced in 1922, then it was being put up in a white plastic canister in the late 1960's, then it was sold in a turquoise canister in the 1980s.


The original Lyre flacon, starting in the 1920s, was fitted with a metal cap and the label simply said "Guerlain Paris" and had a flower separating the two words. In the 1950s and 1960s, the bottle was then changed to a black plastic cap, the paper label was changed .
